Quote: ..."What did we learn" was asked.I think a lot for just starting with the crank we have learned ,what issues to look for,how to correct them,and understand the basic parameters of what is acceptable and what isn't.More importantly not to assume anything,and if you have questions have a place to bring them for help,right here on Moparts.
also important not to forget is this is one of the early kits, and things have changed since then. i won't dare to say "improved", i'll keep that to myself
time and time again, everyone says that you must inspect everything, no matter what you pay for it or who it comes from. there are stories here of perfect Source cranks, and stories of bad Callies cranks, and everything in between.
what i have learned is exactly what bob has stated above. if/when i go to build an engine, i'll make my decisions more on how much HP i'm looking for, and what kind of money i can put into it. i know i won't make the decision by brand name.
